Winner of the American Political Science Association's 2013 Hubert Morken Prize for Best Book in Religion and Politics and its 2013 Prize for Best Book in Migration and Citizenship The Emancipation of Europe's Muslims traces how governments across Western Europe have responded to the growing presence of Muslim immigrants in their countries over the past fifty years. Drawing on hundreds of indepth interviews with government officials and religious leaders in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Morocco, and Turkey, Jonathan Laurence challenges the widespread notion that Europe's Muslim minorities represent a threat to liberal democracy. He documents how European governments in the 1970s and 1980s excluded Islam from domestic institutions, instead inviting foreign powers like Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Turkey to oversee the practice of Islam among immigrants in European host societies. But since the 1990s, amid rising integration problems and fears about terrorism, governments have aggressively stepped up efforts to reach out to their Muslim communities and incorporate them into the institutional, political, and cultural fabrics of European democracy.The Emancipation of Europe's Muslims places these effortsparticularly the governmentled creation of Islamic councilswithin a broader theoretical context and gleans insights from government interactions with groups such as trade unions and Jewish communities at previous critical junctures in European statebuilding. By examining how statemosque relations in Europe are linked to the ongoing struggle for religious and political authority in the Muslimmajority world, Laurence sheds light on the geopolitical implications of a religious minority's transition from outsiders to citizens. This book offers a muchneeded reassessment that foresees the continuing integration of Muslims into European civil society and politics in the coming decades..
